Perth, Australia - Part 2




Part 1 ended after week one and now…….part 2……2 months later…

The basics are DONE!! We now have a beautifully furnished home with all our stuff from KL and all the heating, internet, phone, etc hooked up. Banking, bus route, driving, etc, etc,…..all sorted out. Although it all took quite a while.



Well....that’s what they say.....WA (Western Australia) stands for……WAIT AWHILE!!

My parents arrived and we’ve never been happier to see them. (The kids were driving Mary to the brink!! Hehehe!!) Mom has taken to Rohan and he adores her too!! Maya has both of them wrapped around her fingers and gets away with everything….almost.

We’ve found our favourite stuff as below:

1. Shopping mall has to be Garden City Mall. It has everything that Mary wants!!
2. “Local shop” in Kong’s in Vic Park. It has everything I want for my “Masterchef” kitchen!!
3. Milk, fruit and veg get delivered to our door by Aussie Farmers Direct.
4. Fish, Prawns and scallop from Sealanes in Freo are awesome!!
5. The nearby playground by the Esplanade is Maya’s favourite.
6. Walks around Mount Pleasant keeps Mom and Dad so happy.
7. Little Indian/Sri Lankan shop in Willetton is great.
8. Bunning Hardware is my one stop centre for my DIY.
9. Carnegie’s is my new Backyard!!
10. 92.9fm keeps me company to and from work.
11. Masterchef Australia is what we all sit around to watch after dinner
12. With mum & dad around....Mary and I get a little time to check out the night life too!! (Not much in Perth though!! hahaha!!)



Yup….life in Perth is all about balance and we got it going on pretty good. My fitness regime starts next week with tennis at the Blue Gum Tennis Club…..but that will be stories for part 3!!
